Query about checkout attribute.

Hello,

I am new to this e-commerce platform and have been studding this since last couple of weeks. I have few doubts (sorry if these doubts sounds stupid.

Suppose i am selling a photo-frame and at the bottom of the photo-frame, there is an option of writing a message. Now i want to put few images of messages in checkout attribute. User can select one of the image or if he want to put his own words then he can write his own matter in next attribute(whose control type would be inline textbox). Now i am facing problem:

1> How to use images as a value for checkout attribute(whose control type would be radio button)?
2>How to use bbcode editor as inout for checkout attribute?
3> How to make one of the two checkout attribute as required input from user?

Please reply to me asap. Please.

Thanks,
Siddhant Shah

Sorry but I dont have much codding expereicne. Search in nop forums using google search focused on nop ([search words] site:nopcommerce.com)

Don't use "Checkout Attribute" which is for the entire cart; You want product specific, so use "Product Attributes".
You may want to see if this works for you...
For each Product, set up multiple Variants - each having a picture.  Then set up another attribute with no picture (or maybe a picture of "Your text here" - this product variant should be set up with an attribute of type text.

For 3 define the checkout attribute as "Required"

Thank you replying me...

However, I have one more question if you dont mind...

Since this can't be done with nopCommerce out of the box (and we are not good in customizing nopCommerce at all), we are planning to add an additional .aspx page to which user will be redirect in case he/she want to use their own words which will be placed inside the card. Once user has done all the editing, he will click on 'Confirm and Continue' button which will perform two tasks:

a) It will convert the words into a ,pdf file and save it into a folder.
b) It will it will redirect user to the product page and will place name of .pdf file in one of the attribute field which user cannot alter.

Please tell me this is possible and also let me know how to achieve it.
